Fetomaternal outcome and raised bilirubin level in pregnancy

Background: Jaundice in pregnancy has potentially serious consequences for maternal and fetal health. The cardinal features of hepatobiliary disease may include jaundice, pruritus, abdominal pain; nausea, vomiting, and a variety of liver biochemical test abnormalitiesChallenges involve making the diagnosis and the methods of treatment and their safety for both the mother and the baby.Methods: Based on inclusion criteria, 120 pregnant women were selected from Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, MGMMC and MYH Indore from 1Aug 2014 to 1st August 2015.Patients were categorized according to serum bilirubin level. Basic investigations done and associated complications studied and correlated according to the severity and degree of jaundice.Results: 60% of the patients were aged between 20 and 30 years. 54% were primigravida. 83.3% lived in rural areas while 74.27% came in emergency. Maternal mortality was found highest in the third trimester and when the serum bilirubin crossed 5mg/dl. 43.34% patients with jaundice developed acute kidney injury with serum creatinine level above the cut-off. INR was deranged in 47.5% of the patients. The most common complication seen in our study group was that of HELLP closely followed by multi organ dysfunction and encephalopathy. 67% of the patients delivered vaginally, while 20% went under LSCS. Maternal mortality was 32.5% and perinatal outcome was poor with 50% mortality and 25% nursery admission. 62% of the patients who died were referred from a peripheral health centre.Conclusions: Liver disease can cause significant morbidity and mortality in both pregnant women and their infants. Better identification and treatment of mothers and fetuses at risk may have far-reaching implications for maternal and child health. Monitored intensive care gives a long term pay off in the maternal and fetal outcome

Microalgae and Its Use in Nutraceuticals and Food Supplements

Microalgae are a large diverse group of microorganisms comprising photoautotrophic protists and prokaryotic cyanobacteria—also called as blue-green algae. These microalgae form the source of the food chain for more than 70% of the world’s biomass. It contains higher nutritional values, with rapid growth characteristics. Microalgae are autotrophic organisms and extensively desired for use in nutraceuticals and as supplement in diet. Many microalgal species are documented for health benefits, by strengthening immune system and by increasing the nutritional constitution of body. In this chapter the major economically important species like Spirulina, Chlorella, Haematococcus, and Aphanizomenon are described with reference to its importance as nutraceuticals and food

Investigating the glutamine-trna (glutamine) synthesis appartus of the human pathogen helicobacter pylori

INVESTIGATING THE GLUTAMINE-TRNA (GLUTAMINE) SYNTHESIS APPARTUS OF THE HUMAN PATHOGEN HELICOBACTER PYLORI by NILESH JOSHI August 2012 Advisor: Tamara L. Hendrickson Major: Chemistry Degree: Master of Science Accurate protein biosynthesis is a vital process to all cellular life. Aminoacyl-tRNAs are at the heart of this process: A correctly formed aminoacyl-tRNA is critical for protein biosynthesis. Organisms have evolved many mechanisms to repair misacylated tRNAs before they cause errors in protein biosynthesis, thus maintaining the integrity of the genetic code. The human pathogen Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) synthesizes Glu-tRNAGln as an intermediate to producing Gln-tRNAGln. This misacylated intermediate could cause lethal errors if used by the ribosome for protein synthesis. H. pylori repairs this intermediate by the amidotransferase GatCAB. This dissertation focuses on indirect aminoacylation and transamidation to produce Gln-tRNAGln in H. pylori. A combination of phylogenetic analyses and enzymatic assays were used that contribute to a picture of this process. Chapter 2 discusses our examination of sequence conservation of gltX2 (the gene that encodes GluRS2) across different H. pylori strains. The conclusions of this sequencing effort are compared with trends in sequences of genes important in the aminoacylation step of protein synthesis. Chapter 3 discusses one aspect of Gln-tRNAGln production - the mechanism of transport of ammonia from the active site of one subunit (GatA) to the active site of another (GatB) through an intramolecular hydrophilic tunnel. Site-directed mutagenesis of key residues lining this tunnel and their transamidation assays were performed. With these studies, a preliminary picture of ammonia transport through the tunnel can be constructed

Automated error correction in superdense coding, with implementation on superconducting quantum computer

Construction of a fault-tolerant quantum computer remains a challenging problem due to unavoidable noise in quantum states and the fragility of quantum entanglement. However, most of the error-correcting codes increases the complexity of the algorithms, thereby decreasing any quantum advantage. Here we present a task-specific error-correction technique that provides a complete protection over a restricted set of quantum states. Specifically, we give an automated error correction in Superdense Coding algorithms utilizing n-qubit generalized Bell states. At its core, it is based on non-destructive discrimination method of Bell states involving measurements on ancilla qubits (phase and parity ancilla). The algorithm is shown to be distributable and can be distributed to any set of parties sharing orthogonal states. Automated refers to experimentally implementing the algorithm in a quantum computer by utilizing unitary operators with no measurements in between and thus without the need for outside intervention. We also experimentally realize our automated error correction technique for three different types of superdense coding algorithm on a 7-qubit superconducting IBM quantum computer and also on a 27-qubit quantum simulator in the presence of noise. Probability histograms are generated to show the high fidelity of our experimental results. Quantum state tomography is also carried out with the quantum computer to explicate the efficacy of our method.Comment: 14 Pages, 16 Figures, 3 Table

Component graphs of vector spaces and zero-divisor graphs of ordered sets

In this paper, nonzero component graphs and nonzero component union graphs of finite dimensional vector space are studied using the zero-divisor graph of specially constructed 0-1-distributive lattice and the zero-divisor graph of rings. Further, we define an equivalence relation on nonzero component graphs and nonzero component union graphs to deduce that these graphs are the graph join of zero-divisor graphs of Boolean algebras and complete graphs. In the last section, we characterize the perfect and chordal nonzero component graphs and nonzero component union graphs.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2205.0491

A study to determine the prevalence of urinary incontinence in antenatal women at a tertiary care centre in central India

Background: Urinary incontinence is a common condition in pregnancy and postpartum. There are more than a thousand articles on urinary incontinence (UI) in pregnancy but very limited literature from Indian subcontinent is available. Incidence and prevalence figures of UI in association with pregnancy vary substantially. Not many reviews have focused solely on incidence and prevalence of UI in association with pregnancy. Prevalence of UI in pregnancy ranges from 32% to 64%.Methods: A cross sectional observational study was conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynecology, MGM Medical College and M.Y. Hospital, Indore over the period of 6 months on 1000 pregnant women who were following antenatal care (ANC) clinic. Pregnant women, who were severely sick, diagnosed with kidney or urinary infection and vaginal infections women were excluded from the study. The data were collected using a structured questionnaire. After the purpose of the study was explained, written consent was obtained from each voluntary participant. This study was approved by institutional ethical committee. The data was recorded in predesign coded case report form and statistical analysis was performed using the STATA 12.1.Results: In the present study the prevalence of urinary incontinence reported is 16.4% of women during pregnancy.Conclusions: In this study the prevalence of UI during current pregnancy was found to be lower compared to previous studies conducted. The previous history of surgery, constipation, obesity and respiratory problems were found to be significantly associated with UI during pregnancy

Pesticide applications in Agriculture and its Environmental and Human Health Impacts

The use of chemicals in modern agriculture has significantly increased productivity is very common now a days. There has been an increase in the concentration of pesticides in food and in our environment, with associated negative effects on human health and the environment. The excessive use of pesticides has generated increasing concerns on the negative effects of human health as well as the environment. Impact on the environment of Pesticides can pose serious distress on soil, water, territory, and other vegetation. The pesticides application directly kill the insects, pest, weeds and pathogens but it also indirectly can be harmful and toxic on to the host of the other organism which are birds, beneficial insects, and all other non-target plant and animals. Insecticides are usually the most extremely toxic class of pesticides; however, herbicides can also pose risks to non-target organisms. With this concern most of the pesticides and chemicals are non-biodegradable, and as a result of bioaccumulation, they can enter into the food chain and eventually distress human and animal health, on the whole environment and ecosystem
